The couple have reportedly been together for 11 years and previously owned a home in another part of Barry which they rented out after Ms Brown scooped her win around four years ago.
Appearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday, September 13, Gibbs was due to stand trial for attempted murder but he changed his plea to guilty, WalesOnline reports.
Solicitor-Advocate Derrick Gooden, for Gibbs, asked for sentencing to be adjourned.
Addressing the defendant, Judge Richard Twomlow said: "You have now pleaded guilty to the offence of attempted murder, a serious offence.
"I ask for a pre sentence report and I am told there's a psychiatric report. You face a lengthy prison sentence, you must be aware of that."
Gibbs was remanded in custody to appear for sentencing at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on October 8.
